Dr. Who 50th anniversary.
Yes, I spent the entire week watching all the shows on BBC America and last night watching the anniversary movie. I am not a rabid Dr. Who fan, but I do enjoy the show.
I have discovered which villain creeps me out completely. Not the Daleks, nope. It’s the weeping Angels! OMG. They completely creep me out!
Which Dr. Who villain stepped on your creepy meter?

Not finished?
I never realized how many pictures I had to hang on the walls. Some are new and some have been down for a while.
Yesterday I climbed up and down the ladder so many times I know I’m going to feel it when I wake up. LOL! However, it was worth it, it’s so nice to see pictures on my walls.
I still have a few to hang, but the majority of them are up and I am one happy camper. When I paint, I will take down one wall’s worth at a time and hang them right back up as soon as the paint is dry.
It is a light!
A while back I bought a Satco Nuvo Lighting 60/2409 Moulan 1-Light Mini Pendant with Champagne Linen Glass. Did not open it until the electrician (The Curmudgeon and neighbor) was here to put it up, the glass is cracked, too late for a return.
I couldn’t find anyone who carries replacements and I need a replacement. After doing exhaustive online searches for a replacement shade, I finally contacted the company that makes the lights by E-mail. Within minutes I had an automatic response. However, a few minutes after that I had a solution.
Hurrah! They are supplying me with a replacement. I love Satco!!!
Ugly ass light from MSTB.
So not necessary.
New, beautiful light.
I sure do love it even though it is cracked…one can barely see the crack here.
You all have a good one!
Gavin’s day.
He was so ticked about being at the vet’s he wouldn’t look at me.
Since it was his birthday I put ribbons on his bag of poo. His gift to the lab.
Doesn’t he look thrilled to be there?
Still wouldn’t look at me even though he was almost done. Such a happy looking boy…NOT. Gavin is showing a cataract in one eye and the beginnings of one in the other eye. This is to be expected at his age.
He has a clean bill of health. Shots are up to date. I am very impressed with their new policy of calming bandannas. With him it worked. He got a full inspection from Patty when he got home.
You all have a good one!
Gavin isn’t going to be happy with me…
I finally managed to make an appointment for Gavin to see the vet. So many things have been going on here, he’s over due for one and is out of his allergy medication. He should feel a lot better after Tuesday. Poor thing, he has to go to the vet on his birthday.
Patty is also due to go in but I won’t take them together. Gavin is such a chicken chit that he makes Patty afraid to be there. We found this out after we tried taking them in together just once. Gavin is such a total wuss that he made Patty a nervous wreck before Dr. O got in the exam room to see them.
After that, I thought she’d never go there again without being afraid. Fortunately, since we never did that again, she’s regained her confidence and is now a happy camper at the vet’s again.
A visit with the vampires…
Went for my blood work yesterday. I do love the new St. Luke’s center they built to the west of town. It is so much easier to park and, since it is such a new place, no one goes there.
Two receptionists, two people ahead of me, I waited about two minutes to check in. I didn’t even have time to turn on my Kindle.
Once checked in at the main desk, I walked to lab just a few yards down the hall. No one in the waiting room, another two-minute wait, I was seated and having blood drawn.
I cracked the phlebotomist up as she took two tubes of blood out of me. Since the chair was so high, I began to swing my legs back and forth and told her I felt like a little kid in the chair. “Where’s my tray and snacks?”
No coffee?!!! Crap!
Anyone who knows me, knows that until I have my cup of coffee when I first get up, I am not there. Unfortunately, I should have skipped that coffee today.
I completely forgot that I can’t have any coffee before my blood test. Well, as I said, my brains don’t function without the coffee. It wasn’t until after I had a cup of coffee that I remembered I shouldn’t have had the coffee.
Therefore, my day screwed the pooch before it even started. Now the rest of my week is a day off on what I had planned. (Sigh) I should know better than to make any plans.
You all have a good one!
The neurologist is pleased.
Took The Curmudgeon to his Neurologist appointment, the first one since he’s been on the Tecfidera, and she was tickled to see him come into the office with his cane instead of his walker.
She saw improvement in every test she did on him. I do believe she’s as excited about the results as we have been. She does agree with me that he should start working out with the weights on a regular basis to build up his muscle strength.
He goes back in four months, it would be wonderful to have even more improvement to show her.
You all have a good one!
No! I am not the age it says on my birth certificate…am I?
There are days where I really feel my age. Today was one of those days. All I did was go grocery shopping–not a good day for it, the store was crowded with people who can’t move out of their own way.
By the time I got home, unloaded the car, put everything away, fed the dogs, and cooked dinner, I was ready for a nap.
I think I dozed off on the couch with Gavin around eight. I slept for an hour. Gavin enjoyed it and wanted me to snooze a bit longer. 😉 Silly pup.
Then there are days where I don’t feel any different from forty years ago when I was newly married.
You all have a good one!
And, we have a runner.
This blog isn’t going to write itself. Nope, although I wish it would, there’s no chance of it happening.
When I sat down at my desk to write, I saw my muse run out the door screaming, laughing, and pulling her hair out by the handfuls. About then, I knew the blog was in for some trouble.
If any of you happen to see a crazed, bald muse giggling in a corner somewhere, would you please send her home?
Remembering Mary
On this day in 1957, my baby sister came into this world. It was my parents anniversary and I was three years old.
Mary…Randolph AFB …1965?
Mary and Sadie
She always made me laugh.
The Curmudgeon’s favorite sister-in-law.
My best friend.

I love you
